Christmas gifts #3

These are the last gifts I have to blog about until I make something new that is lol. These were for a secret santa swap I was a part of in the girls shed where we do patchwork. There is a needlecase, a pincushion and a sewing roll (similar to a crayon roll), I will link to them when I can find the links as they are all on my broken laptop.

Christmas gifts #2

So this next quilt I made for my mam and is the same design as the one in my previous post....I LOVE the colours in this and am glad my mam does too. This panel took some detective work to find online as spotlight no longer had any left and I didn't know the name of it hehe.






I called this next one Chains of the Orient and to be honest I originally was making it for me as I am in love with the fabric used in it. Luckily for me I still have a teensy bit left so will have to find the right pattern to use it in. I decided this was perfect for my sister and she is loving it which is great too!

Here I am at last!!! (warning picture heavy post)

I hope that everyone had a fabulous christmas and is going to have a happy and safe new years.

I have found it a little hard to blog lately with no internet at home, but trust I have been reading all your posts on my mobile phone :)

Now that Christmas is over I can finally show you all the things I have been working on the last few months :-)

This one I called Summer Windows and I made it for my nanna and grandad back in victoria. I thoroughly enjoyed making this and just winged it with the pattern. I found a pattern on the Michael Miller website and used it to make this one. I used a panel called Summer Days by Michael Miller and chopped it up to make this.

This panel was from spotlight and all the co-ordinating fabric was there too. I quilted around the wings and the clouds on the panel and stitched a 1/4 inch from the seam on a couple of the borders.

I will have to add the other quilts I made in another post so stay tuned :)

PIF with a difference

Naomi over at Nome's brag-a-long! is hosting a PIF, so head on over and sign up for some fun in 2010!!!

Busy times ahead....

Well I have been missing on the blogging front for a couple of reasons. First is because I no longer have the net at home so can only get on, on my mobile phone or at the in laws house. Secondly all I have been making is Christmas presents and for obvious reasons cant show them on here until after Christmas. And lastly being the Christmas season I have just been SUPER busy doing this and that....

So I am still around, loving reading everyones Christmas posts and will hopefully be back with some lovely things to show once Christmas is over.
